Save the Dream Ohio PUSH

Housing

I firmly believe that every American deserves a warm and secure home. Unfortunately, many homeowners are still having difficulty keeping up with their mortgages. In 2014, Ohio ranked fifth nationally in number of completed foreclosures with 29,000.

I am concerned by the thousands of abandoned and vacant houses in Northeast Ohio. Therefore, I will continue to lead efforts to facilitate the demolition of blighted buildings in Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, so that all residents of Ohio's 11th Congressional District can achieve the American dream of homeownership.

Rep. Fudge sent a letter to the Department of Justice urging its lead negotiator with Bank of America to ensure that any consumer relief component of their settlement will be effective and robust. Many of the Congresswoman’s suggestions were included in the final settlement.
